[Hank Kerchief]

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body F27 of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

What a perplexing passage. Showing the war between the flesh and the spirit. What a mystery that we can be saved by grace even in this mortal state. But how can we be confident in our salvation? Because the power of sin has been destroyed, that is the law!

Are you an antinomian, then? What do you do with this verse: Mat. 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

Notice, that all would not be fulfilled until "heaven and earth pass."

Are you an antinomian, then? What do you do with this verse: Mat. 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

Heaven and Earth have passed away.
But literal interpretation need not apply.
The Earth was considered the outer courts of the temple, the heaven was the inner courts according to Jewish tradition.
And the temple signified the "present age" (Old Covenant) of that 1st century (Hebrews 9:9) which was passing away (Hebrews 8:13).

Thus, when it was destroyed and literally melted with fervent heat, so did heaven and earth (Old Covenant)
